    Save a Truck, Ride a Redneck , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 212min
    Molly Harper brings her signature "clever humor, snark, silliness, and endearing protagonists" (Booklist) to the charming small town of Lake Sackett, Georgia with the new Southern Eclectic series. Carl and Marianne were high school sweethearts, loving the way only teenagers can - with no thought to logic or pride, just a bone-headed, optimistic frenzy of unicorns and hormones. That was all they needed. Or so Carl thought. Scared of being stuck in Lake Sackett, Georgia, like so many of her friends - without a real shot at a future or achieving her own dreams - Marianne panicked and bolted to college after stomping Carl's heart into the high grass. But when she returns to Lake Sackett for the summer with her family after years away, she and Carl are drawn together like moths to a flame. As they rekindle their old romance and remember what it was like to be in love, they have to wonder: is this, finally, their real chance at happiness? Perfect for fans of Kristan Higgins and Amy E. Reichert, this warmhearted and witty love story introduces Molly Harper's new Southern Eclectic series set in the small town of Lake Sackett, Georgia. This story about second chances proves that "Molly Harper never lets the reader down with her delightfully entertaining stories. Humor, emotions, and romance are cleverly matched, and her likable characters are most appealing" (SingleTitles). ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Amanda Ronconi.

    You Are Not Ruining Your Kids: A Positive Perspective on the Working Mom , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 227min
    Working moms, it’s time to kiss your guilt good-bye! Women who choose to grow a professional career while raising a family typically have guilt as a steady companion. When at work, they worry about neglecting their children; when at home, they worry about neglecting their work. In this account of her experience as a mom, as well as a corporate executive, Sheila Jordan attacks the guilt head on. “You are not ruining your kids by working,” says Jordan. “In fact, kids of working moms benefit from the experience.” They are constantly exposed to skills of prioritizing, problem-solving, and task management. Moms who receive coaching in personal development, conflict management, and critical thinking at work bring those skills home to the family. Rather than set herself up as the example of a perfect working mom, Jordan sees herself as a mom wanting to start a conversation and share some things she has learned along the way. You’ll enjoy entertaining stories and her quirky perspective as Jordan illustrates the following points: The idea of work/life balance is a dangerous fallacyA little silliness goes a long way in reducing stressYour car has special powers as a channel for communicationWhile many things are optional, vacations and special occasions are notBeing a working mom makes you a better leader and vice versa ungekürzt.

    The Brentford Chainstore Massacre: Brentford Trilogy, Book 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 560min
    There is nothing more powerful than a bad idea whose time has come. And there can be few ideas less bad or more potentially apocalyptic than that hatched by genetic scientist Dr Stephen Malone. Using DNA strands extracted from the dried blood on the Turin Shroud, Dr Malone is cloning Jesus. And not just a single Jesus, he's going for a full half-dozen so that each of the world's major religions can have one. It's a really bad idea. In Brentford they've had a really good idea. They're holding the Millennial Celebrations two years early to avoid the rush. It's a tradition, or an old charter, or something. And it promises to be the party of this, or any other, century. Unless, of course, something really bad was to happen... Robert Rankin describes himself as a teller of tall tales. The Morning Star describes him as 'The Master of Silliness', and his publisher describes him as The Master of Far Fetched Fiction. He is the author of more than thirty novels, of which he has sold millions of copies, and he makes people laugh around the world. Robert loves going on tour, signing books for readers, and his appearances at signings and conventions are legendary, often including a stand-up routine, a song (accompanied by his 'air-ukulele'), and an always-entertaining question-and-answer session. ungekürzt.

    Dirty Daddy: The Chronicles of a Family Man Turned Filthy Comedian , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 405min
    Millions of viewers know and love Bob Saget from his role as the sweetly neurotic father on the smash hit Full House, and as the charming wisecracking host of America's Funniest Home Videos. And then there are the legions of fans who can't get enough of his scatological, out-of-his-mind stand-up routines, comedy specials, and outrageously profane performances in such shows as HBO's Entourage and the hit documentary The Aristocrats. In his bold and wildly entertaining publishing debut, he continues to embrace his dark side and gives listeners the audiobook they have long been waiting for - hilarious and often dirty. Bob believes there's a time and a place for filth. From his never-before-heard stories of what really went on behind the scenes of two of the most successful family shows of all times, with co-stars like John Stamos and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, to his tales of legendary friends and colleagues like Rodney Dangerfield, Richard Pryor, Don Rickles, and other show business legends, Saget opens up about some of his personal experiences with life and death, his career, and his reputation for sick humor - all with his highly original blend of silliness, vulgarity, humor, and heart, and all framed by a man who loves being funny above all else. ungekürzt.

    I'm Just a Person , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 315min
    One of America's most original comedic voices delivers a darkly funny, wryly observed, and emotionally raw account of her year of death, cancer, and epiphany. In the span of four months in 2012, Tig Notaro was hospitalized for a debilitating intestinal disease called C. diff, her mother unexpectedly died, she went through a breakup, and then she was diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer. Hit with this devastating barrage, Tig took her grief onstage. Days after receiving her cancer diagnosis, she broke new comedic ground, opening an unvarnished set with the words, "Good evening. Hello. I have cancer. How are you? Hi, how are you? Is everybody having a good time? I have cancer." The set went viral instantly and was ultimately released as Tig's sophomore album, Live, which sold 100,000 units in just six weeks and was later nominated for a Grammy. Now the wildly popular star takes stock of that no good, very bad year - a difficult yet astonishing period in which tragedy turned into absurdity and despair transformed into joy. An inspired combination of the deadpan silliness of her comedy and the openhearted vulnerability that has emerged in the wake of that dire time, I'm Just a Person is a moving and often hilarious look at this very brave, very funny woman's journey into the darkness and her thrilling return from it. ungekürzt.

    Sex and Drugs and Sausage Rolls: Brentford Trilogy, Book 6 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 559min
    It has always been John Omally's secret ambition to become a rock star. In his youth he mastered air guitar and wardrobe-mirror posing, but he lacked that certain something. Talent. But at last an opportunity has arisen for John to get into 'The Industry'. A band called Gandhi's Hairdryer are looking for a manager, so all John has to do is persuade them that he is the new Brian Epstein. It should be a piece of cake. But - and there's always a but - there is something rather odd about this band. Something other-worldly. It might be the lead singer, whose voice has the power to heal. Might she be an angel, perhaps? Or could she be the Devil in disguise? Because, after all, the Devil does have all the best tunes. And this is Brentford.

    East of Ealing: Brentford Trilogy, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 440min
    Ahead, where once had been only bombsite land, the Lateinos and Romiith building rose above Brentford. Within its cruel and jagged shadow, magnolias wilted in their window boxes and synthetic Gold Top became doorstep cheese... Something sinister is happening east of Ealing. The prophecies of The Book of Revelation are being fulfilled. Lateinos & Romiith, a vast financial network, is changing all the rules with a plan to bar-code every living punter and dispense with old-fashioned money. A diabolical scheme, which would not only end civilisation as we know it, but seriously interfere with drinking habits at the Flying Swan. Can Armageddon, Apocalypse and other inconveniences of the modern age be stopped by the humble likes of Pooley and Omally, even with the help of Professor Slocombe and the time-warped Sherlock Holmes of Baker Street...?

    One Plus One Plus One , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 63min
    A lighthearted listen and complete silliness three-in-one short story in less than 10,000 words. (Think of it as an adult coloring-in exercise for the idle mind.)  It started during one of those boring never-ending commuting journeys shared with my publishing agent and lifelong friend Jan. Jan suggested an easy-to-listen, on-the-go detective lose-hanging piece to kill start-stop commuting time. Maybe a bit of light-hearted investigator reading/listening fun that one could start and then put down with your train timetable and front door key just to be picked up again tomorrow morning. A who-done-it story, or stories, that I would begin in some detail and then allow to fizzle out, never to finish, with only a vague catch-all author’s synopsis. It sounded tempting; my publisher bought the idea and advanced 30,000 oounds. Not that I was in need of the money. Of course not.  The only stipulation - it had to be less than 10,000 words. Story 1: A Pair of Two’sThe man with No Mission: a man more interested in playing poker that solving cases. Story 2: Blame the RainShe was the one reminding her husband to tell Tom McBride of the telephone call on the night of the murder that only said “It was the rain”.Story 3: ini mini mino moCatch a serial killer by his toe.

    The Warrior Goddess Way: Claiming the Woman You Are Destined to Be , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 438min
    Since its publication a short time ago, HeatherAsh Amara's Warrior Goddess Training has become much more than just a book. Its 10 lessons have inspired thousands of women around the world to reclaim their power, their passion, and their freedom. In this much anticipated follow-up, The Warrior Goddess Way, Amara goes deeper, revealing three additional pillars of Warrior Goddess living that listeners can apply to travel further down this sacred path. Wisdom arises naturally when we learn to listen, not to the voices in our head, but the voices in our cells, our natural discernment, and our creative knowing. Authenticity is embracing your vulnerability, your silliness, and owning all your superpowers. It's accepting and loving what is, not what "should be". Yes is about celebrating everything. All the time. (Even your greatest defeats.) In exploring these three pillars, Amara delves into topics such as forgiveness, relationships, and finding your inner stillness. You will learn the art of maintaining emotional balance, cultivating self-respect, practicing heartfelt communication, and the power of consciously embracing life's beginnings and endings. Like Warrior Goddess Training, this book is packed full of exercises and explorations designed to help you integrate the Warrior Goddess Way into your everyday life. You can learn to enjoy everything you do. Your potential for dancing through life is waiting to be awakened. Live the Warrior Goddess Way and claim the woman you are destined to be. ungekürzt.
